At least four people have been killed in anti-government protests since Friday and at least 80 people have been killed since the protest began.

Demonstrators have been taking to the streets almost daily to protest against what they call the creation of a dictatorship by President Nicolas Maduros.

The Venezuelan government has undertaken various moves to consolidate power, such as allowing the Supreme Court to take over the opposition's legislative powers and banning opposition leader Henrique Capriles from running for office for 15 years.
